CPA Helping Nonprofits Serve the Greater Good
About
Shanda Ranelle, CPA and Owner
I’m a CPA dedicated to helping nonprofits serve the greater good. As the founder of Greater Good Services, I help mission-driven organizations build sound financial and governance practices to enhance financial stewardship, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
Before founding Greater Good Services in 2022, I spent ten years as Business Manager/CFO at the Sid W. Richardson Foundation, overseeing financial operations, strategy, and compliance. My background before then includes teaching accounting and auditing at Texas Christian University and starting my career in audit with PwC.
I’m passionate about using my experience to help nonprofits thrive—both through my work and through volunteer service on nonprofit boards.
